labs and project (i.e. Build a Rube Goldberg Machine)
Identify electrical safety rules, electrical units, electrical
symbols rules

Electrical Safety
5-10 ma can cause death
Skin resistance can range from 1kΩ for wet
skin to 500kΩ for dry skin.
Death can result from as low as 50 volts
Body can sense 9 volts under the right
conditions
Report TA or technician for any emergency
case
Electrical Units
Voltage (V): volts (μv → kv)
Current (I): amperes (amps), milliampere (ma
